Question # 1 of 10 ( Start time: 07:13:02 PM ) Total Marks: 1 The mean of a Poisson distribution is 5 while its standard deviation is 4.then what option is correct about this statement. Select correct option: In some cases this result is possible. Mean should be always less than standard deviation . Mean and standard deviation are always equal. Only option 1 & 3. Question # 2 of 10 ( Start time: 07:14:35 PM ) Total Marks: 1 What is the range of probability of any event? Select correct option: -1 to 0 -1 to 1 0 to 1 None of these Question # 3 of 10 ( Start time: 07:15:11 PM ) Total Marks: 1 In the excel formulation for Poisson distribution i-e "POISSON(x,mean,cumulative)", x is the Select correct option: Expected numeric value Logical value that determines the form of the probability distribution returned Number of events over a specific time Discrete non-random variable Question # 4 of 10 ( Start time: 07:16:24 PM ) Total Marks: 1 In the excel formulation for Poisson distribution i-e "POISSON(x,mean,cumulative)", if X<0 then it returns to Select correct option: TRUE FALSE #VALUE! #NUM!

Question # 5 of 10 ( Start time: 07:17:36 PM ) Total Marks: 1 In binomial distribution, the probability of "success" p Select correct option: Vary for each outcome Remains constant for different outcomes

Remains the same for each outcome None of these Question # 6 of 10 ( Start time: 07:19:06 PM ) Total Marks: 1 The Excel command =BINOMDIST( 4, 10, 2, FALSE) gives an error of #NUM. The reason is that the probability of successes is 2 which is wrong. The probability of successes cannot be greater than 1. Select correct option: True False Question # 7 of 10 ( Start time: 07:19:51 PM ) Total Marks: 1 CRITBINOM function returns the smallest value for which the cumulative is greater than or equal to a given value. Select correct option: True False Question # 8 of 10 ( Start time: 07:20:53 PM ) Total Marks: 1 In binomial distribution, the experiment is repeated for Select correct option: Variable number of times Fixed number of times Many number of times None of these Question # 9 of 10 ( Start time: 07:21:30 PM ) Total Marks: 1 For the Poisson distribution, Select correct option: E(X) = , Var(X) = E(X) = , Var(X) = - E(X) = - , Var(X) = E(X) = 0 , Var(X) = 0 Question # 10 of 10 ( Start time: 07:22:16 PM ) Total Marks: 1 The number of telephone calls that pass through a switchboard has a Poisson distribution with mean equal to 2 per minute. The probability that no telephone calls pass through the switch board in two consecutive minutes is:
